50 Cent — Get Rich Or Die Tryin' (2-LP)

Double Album on Black Vinyl

The debut album from 50 Cent — a major player in the revival of East Coast Hip Hop and Gangsta Rap — reconstructs the dark, hostile streets of the inner city with spartan arrangements, horror-movie synths and tense, deliberately paced thump-and-bump grooves. In a 2013 retrospective, Billboard states that Get Rich Or Die Tryin' "rewrote the hip-hop rulebook.”
